Great DamienD!!!
Quote:
are fullscreen so in your case only must change the monitor. Try this: - Create a text file called "Second monitor.uae" and copypaste these lines: config_description= config_hardware=false config_host=true gfx_display=2 - Copy the file to \WinUAE\Configurations\Host folder. - Open WinUAE and follow mi screencapture settings. Done. When you doble click a game, the second monitor and all the DamienD´s settings will be used. You can add more lines to the file to personalize your graphic settings (no scanlines, use filters, etc.) This method works for me, i hope works for you. |

Thanks for posting this OsabaKoldo
...I totally forgot about the option to create a new / customised file under \WinUAE\Configurations\Host |

OsabaKoldo,
Wow, thanks so much for this! I had figured out to change all the config files via the gfx_display, but that brought another issue where I couldn't update conmfig files that didn't already have an existing setting. I like to utilize full screen and then scale the image 2.5x. Toni mentioned this in another thread so I tried it and it worked beautifully. Your solution will help me add those settings to a single config. Thanks so much! |

Unlike NotePad++, you can grab a few lines of text and then replace the block of text ...so as an example, if you wanted to add "scanlines" to this config: Code:
gfx_display=0 gfx_framerate=1 gfx_width=720 gfx_height=568 gfx_width_windowed=720 gfx_height_windowed=568 gfx_width_fullscreen=720 gfx_height_fullscreen=576 gfx_refreshrate=0 gfx_vsync=false gfx_lores=false gfx_linemode=double gfx_fullscreen_amiga=true gfx_fullscreen_picasso=false gfx_center_horizontal=none gfx_center_vertical=smart gfx_colour_mode=32bit gfx_blacker_than_black=false gfx_api=direct3d gfx_filter_horiz_offsetf=-250.000000 gfx_filter_autoscale=none Code:
gfx_display=0 gfx_framerate=1 gfx_width=720 gfx_height=568 gfx_width_windowed=720 gfx_height_windowed=568 gfx_width_fullscreen=720 gfx_height_fullscreen=576 gfx_refreshrate=0 gfx_vsync=false gfx_lores=false gfx_linemode=double gfx_fullscreen_amiga=true gfx_fullscreen_picasso=false gfx_center_horizontal=none gfx_center_vertical=smart gfx_colour_mode=32bit gfx_blacker_than_black=false gfx_api=direct3d gfx_filter_horiz_offsetf=-250.000000 gfx_filter_scanlines=50 gfx_filter_autoscale=none |

Or do what I've done. Have a 2nd copy of every config file. 1st set of configs with scanlines. And 2nd set of configs without scanlines and without led lights.

...time for a small update
In regards to the game Deep Core, for years I've been using the trained / verified .ADFs (after reading various threads plus it's also what my friend Belgarath uses in GameBase Amiga). ...but after the recent discussions that occurred in this thread Deep Core issues, I tested myself and couldn't get it to work reliably without numerous intermittent, crashes Anyway, there is now an "unofficial" . IPF set available and from investigating further I couldn't get this to crash Ok, so there's no trainer but just use the inbuilt cheats which I've put in the <gamedir> and can easily be accessed by right-clicking in title bar of the "Boxart" panel and selecting "Open Game Folder": So, please do the following:

Just as a side note and FYI really...
When running everything from my laptop using the internal HDD, WinUAE / my collection (currently 2501 configurations / titles / sshots) starts in about 6 seconds My good friend DH doesn't have much space left on his computer, so I said I'd extract everything to a USB stick, use the .INI file and courier over to him Purchased a 32GB USB stick today, copied everything across and tested, but every time it took around 3 minutes 45 seconds to start Anyway, after playing around I ended up having to tick "Cache Configuration files" from under "Paths"... Now from the USB stick, WinUAE / my collection also starts in 6 seconds |

I tried this on my pc and it has worked miracles launch time was about 3 minutes and now it is exactly 6 seconds as well.

DamienD: Might be worth asking Toni if he would change the way that WinUAE manages configs. A fix might possibly be a button that enumerates configurations and stores their filenames in a settings file. On startup, WinUAE will load from that file and display the configs in the list as usual. If the user adds configurations then click the button to update the list.
Certainly something needs to be done; I have a 128GB USB stick here that takes upwards of ten minutes to start up. The other option would be some kind sould writing a custom front-end for WinUAE which runs WinUAE when launching a game as a separate application. |

Hi Dunny,
When running from internal HDD then you don't need to tick "Cache Configuration files" and it will start in 6 seconds; but yes, this is needed when running from a USB stick so that WinUAE doesn't have to check paths / boxart upon startup. I hear what your saying though in regards to a button for updating configuration cache as if you add / change anything then it doesn't update; you need to delete the "configuration.cache" file and run again to pickup any additions / changes. |

For me it makes no difference on internal HDD
...but your computer is very old i.e. Windows Vista era. Also, as mentioned, if any additions / changes occur then you need to delete the "configuration.cache" file and start WinUAE again to pick them up. |

It surely makes difference (even if PC is very fast. Even if SSD. If hundreds of config files) because each config file needs to be read and parsed at startup if configuration.cache does not exist. It is even more slower if boxart search is enabled because each possibly boxart path needs to be checked.
Easiest method to force cache rebuild is to save any config file. |

Anyway, I still won't use it. I'm ok with 6 seconds; which I think is very fast indeed considering there are 2501 configurations / titles / sshots to scan through |
